Message: <blockquote data-quote="Count Jockula" data-source="post: 435171" data-attributes="member: 17">You're correct! Jenna (as portrayed by the wife of Elvis) is on the stand for shooting her ex Naldo Marchetta.  Old Scotty Demarest is defending her; (a scene from season 7, DVD-8, 1984-'85):Scotty "A Beretta 380. A very interesting weapon. You knew Naldo was carrying this, didn’t you?Jenna : "Yes, he showed me in the corridor."Scotty: "Assuming that you could get hold of it.  Now that’s a large assumption, since he was much bigger; much stronger than you, wasn’t he?"Jenna : "Yes!"Scotty: "Well, let us forget it. Just say you were able to get hold of it. What would be the first thing that you would do?"Jenna: "I don’t know. Shoot it."Scotty: "Well, if he had it in his belt, he’d probably have the safety on, don’t you think?"Jenna: "I guess so."Scotty: "Yeah, I think so. So the first thing you’d do would be to take the safety off. Here, why don’t you do that?"Jenna (looks at the gun): "Where is it?"Scotty: "Well don’t you know?"Jenna: "Well, there are all kinds of levers and things on both sides here."Scotty: "You were raised on a ranch. Now, you must have fired a gun before."Jenna: "I’ve shot a rifle and I’ve shot shotguns. I’ve never shot a handgun. This is completely different!"Scotty (takes the gun, from her): "Oh, yes. It’s very different. Very different indeed. This is a very complicated weapon and yet the prosecution wants you to believe that under the effects of chloroform; this little lady here can grab it away from a man bigger; stronger than she, find the safety, release it, shoot it, before he could stop her? I don’t think so. I don’t think anyone with any common sense would think so. That stretches the imagination a bit too far."Jenna: "Yes."Scotty: "Well, let us forget it. Just say you were able to get hold of it. What would be the first thing that you would do?"Jenna, agitated: "I don’t know. Shoot it!"Scotty: "Well; if he had it in his belt, he’d probably have the safety on, don’t you think?"Jenna: "I guess so!"Scotty: "Yeah, I think so. So the first thing you’d do would be to take the safety off. Here, why don’t you do that?"He stands at the jury box.Jenna looking at the gun: "Where is it?"Scotty: "Well, don’t you know?"Jenna: "Well, there are all kinds of levers and things on both sides here."Scotty: "You were raised on a ranch. Now, you must have fired a gun before."Jenna agitated: "I’ve shot a rifle and I’ve shot shotguns. I’ve never shot a handgun. This is completely different!"Scotty faces her again: "Oh yes. It’s very different. Very different indeed."He presents the gun, once more: "This is a very complicated weapon and yet the prosecution wants you to believe that under the effects of chloroform; this little lady here can grab it away from a man bigger, stronger than she, find the safety, release it, shoot it, before he could stop her? I don’t think so. I don’t think anyone with any common sense would think so. That stretches the imagination a bit too far!"</blockquote>
